Yeah, well, that was the genesis of that. And essentially, the idea was that we could correct ortho means to straighten, and molecular means molecules, to straighten the molecules of the brain by using high doses of nutrients to move chemical reactions to their completion. Now, it was a very simple idea, and it was super complicated paper, very scientific, but it sort of started this process.

And then Jeffrey Bland, who was really the father of functional medicine, was a student of Linus Pauling's. And Linus Pauling was kind of thought of as a crackpot later in his life. I mean, I don't know if you're going to call anybody who won two Nobel Prizes a crackpot, but he was kind of dismissed for his ideas about vitamin C and everything.

But he was onto something, and this is what we're seeing now. So I think your work is so important, and your ability to actually communicate this, to look at the science is so important. So talk about how we can think about some of the inflammation process in mental health and metabolic health and what we need to do to fix that.

People are listening, well, I hear this, my mitochondria aren't working, inflammation's connected. How do I start to address that in myself?

By the way, the brain has got the most mitochondria per cell of any organ in the body. So it's really important.

One of the best doorways to the mitochondria is... Exercise, right? It stimulates the growth of new mitochondria, improves the function of mitochondria. It's quite important. And it also cuts down inflammation and activates your antioxidant enzymes. It has so many benefits. And we know it's better that they quill into many drugs for depression if you just exercise regularly, vigorously, right?
